The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.16 18 or newer, which added a "Maintenance" section to the ability to restart License Statistics from the License Statistics Manager that includes the new ability to reset the password(either using a new Restart button or via an alert that is issued if the configuration has changed while License Statistics is running). License Statistics v6.18 also removed the ability to activate licenses using the License Statistics Manager. License activation is now done using the Management tab on the Licensing page or the CLI, which was introduced with v6.18. If you are using a version previous to v6.1618, see documentation for previous versions.
